I think they are.

Jr.CubBuilder, you still got your sled? I want to do your area again. Maybe we can get Zane to come and ride. You really need to come west and do St Helens too. I have been out 2X it was great early. Now the FL is headed to 8-9K. Hope your good, tell the wife I said hi.

Good day

Re: Good day BCP friends

Still working on cleaning my shop for the Monday Christmas party. I decided to install a new range. So I had to run a 50A circuit 85' to the kitchen area. Makes it better too for when friends come buy.

Re: Good day BCP friends

Good morning, everyone. Was going to go fly for a bit today, but the vis is less than 2 miles. I'll wait awhile & see what happens. Took up short-track speedskating earlier this year, and practice is this afternoon. Go fast, turn left, kinda like Reno, only slower.

It was a great day. The wx guesses missed the forecast and looks like we get another great day. Fly or sled.

Re: Good day BCP friends

Hey Rob, looks like you have my snowmobile suit on. Another tight wad. Your snow looks to be about the same depth as our's right now, we are still getting flakes every day, but don't need a lot more, as it is easy to get around this way. Steve

Great minds think alike. Those insulated coveralls are great. Wouldn't of been caught dead in those in my 20 flirting with the gals. To old to care now. We have a good snow even going on all this week. I'll have to hit it again before Sunday as we are leaving for a cruise to Mexico on the Holland America ms Oosterdam

Feel the Latin passion of the Mexican Riviera in the pulsing energy of Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Acapulco. Witness the annual migration of gray whales in Baja’s scenic Bahia Magdalena. Onboard blend salsa lessons and top flight entertainment with naps by the pool, spa visits and time on your private verandah. With our award-winning shore excursions and onboard amenities tailored to every age and interest, Holland America Line Mexico cruise vacations are perfect for the whole family.

Holland America Line offers a variety of 7- to 11-day Mexico cruise itineraries, all beginning and ending in downtown San Diego where the pier is conveniently located just minutes from the airport on beautiful San Diego Bay. Begin and end your cruise sailing past Coronado Island, Cabrillo National Monument and Point Loma.

Jr.CubBuilder wrote:Rob I was just thinking about you last weekend, and now I you've answered the question I had in mind "is Rob still sledding"?

The snow is beginning to accumulate, we had about three feet on top that got rained on making a nice base, and it's been snowing off and on the last few days. If you guys come up again we should probably start here http://www.parks.wa.gov/winter/trails/? ... 3&Park=100 and I think you guys would dig it. If the snow keeps up this will be a much better year than when you were here last. How's Mike? Hope he's doing well, and tell him I said hi when you see him.

The old 97 RMK died on me last Sunday up there, and the Summit is not happy about something which I'm hoping isn't injector problems.

The wife is good, and life is good. Hope you have an awesome vacation (can you take a vacation when you are retired?) and Merry Christmas.
Chris


Hey Chris I'll tell Mike hi and PM you when I get back from The Mexican Riviera 8)
Mike has 2 rides and 2 broken sleds. Blew 1 motor, and broke the front suspension on the other. Both fixed now.
